The Journey of the Heroine: embracing the Goddess in 5 steps

The Journey of the Heroine is a call to reclaim the feminine, to embrace the Goddess within, and to reconnect with our spiritual essence. Inspired by authors like Sara Avant Stover (The Book of SHE) and Maureen Murdock, this journey mirrors life’s cycles—spiraling through descent, initiation, and ultimate ascent. Unlike the linear hero’s journey, the heroine’s path brings us deep into the shadow self, embracing imperfections, healing the mother wound, and rediscovering our innate power.

The Goddess—tied to the Earth, the moon, and our emotional rhythms—guides this sacred journey. Whether it’s accepting our natural cycles, honoring rituals of initiation, or igniting our sensual spark, we transform through shadow work and emerge anew. We return home not as who we were, but as heroines—empowered, healed, and whole.

Key Points:

The feminine journey: cyclical, soulful, and transformative.
Healing through shadow work, reclaiming sexuality, and embracing natural rhythms.
The role of the Dark Goddess and balancing inner masculine and feminine energies.
The Goddess as a vessel for love, wisdom, and Earth connection.

The Well of Remembrance: Rediscovering the Earth Wisdom Myths of Northern Europe

In The Well of Remembrance, Ralph Metzner invites us on a journey of ancestral healing and reconnection. Drawing on Norse mythology, Metzner explores Odin’s symbolic sacrifices—hanging from Yggdrasil, giving his eye to the Well of Wisdom—to illustrate the power of reconciliation, inner vision, and ancestral remembrance. At the foot of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, lies Mímir’s Well, where we find wisdom by diving into the waters of our past. Metzner emphasizes the critical need for rituals of reconciliation today, uniting the wisdom of Earth-bound traditions and Sky gods. His message: our ancestors hold stories that heal, guide, and ground us in times of change.

Key Takeaways:

Odin as a bridge-builder between irreconcilable differences.
Mímir’s Well as a symbol of memory and ancestral wisdom.
